The Love Guru - Destroyer of Brain Cells

Sure, this little thing is a music blog, so I'm going to arbitrarily relate music to this entry.  Justin Timberlake was in the Love Guru and... he's a singer.  So technically I can write about it.  Here we go... Mike Myers' movie the Love Guru killed all of my brain cells last night and now I think I'm going to get early onset Alzheimer's.  First of all, the movie was so lazy.  Some of the plot lines were resolved WAYYYYYY too easily, like the huge buildup of the movie was that Roanoke needed to stand up to his mother and wouldn't do it, and at the end of the movie he just ended up standing up to her really easily.  Meanwhile, the whole time I was thinking, if I wrote this movie, this is what I would have done because the writing was so terrible.  Secondly, there were way too many songs that just weren't funny that made me want to go temporarily deaf and blind.  Thirdly, it was weird awkward humor (like having a fight with mops covered in piss).  Lastly, and worst of all, the characters were annoying and the jokes were unfunny (like... having your chant be Law and Order SVU's Mariska Hargitay... get it she has a funny name that sounds like an Indian chant, utilizing midget humor aka the lowest form of humor, and constantly repeating the same jokes over and over again).  The only highlight I will say was not even because of Mike Myers or his writing, it was Stephen Colbert as the hockey commentator/drug addict and we all know that was Colbert improvising and he is just awesome in general so it doesn't count.  I hated this movie so much and am so disappointed in our fellow Canadian Mike Myers that I had to express it somehow.

I think this belongs in the colostomy bag. Or in Barbara Walters' most recent stool sample. Mike Myers is a nazi.

technically i can only put music in the colostomy bag, but we can give it a colostomy bag honorable mention. syd it is so good to hear from you, especially when you bring up barbara walter's poop and talk of nazis.
